You can customise the default zoom level used by the Microsoft Edge browser. This way, text and images will always appear larger whenever you use the browser. To do so:

2. Select Settings from the menu.
   
3. The Microsoft Edge settings page will open. Select Appearance from the menu in the left column. 
   
4. On the Appearance page, select the drop-down menu for Zoom and choose a new default zoom level.
   

How to increase the default text size in Microsoft Edge

You can specify default font sizes so that text is always larger whenever you use the Microsoft Edge browser. Note: Some websites don’t allow you to change the font size so these settings may not work on every website you visit.

1. Select the Menu button in the top-right of the Microsoft Edge web browser.
   
2. Select Settings from the menu.
   
3. The Microsoft Edge settings page will open. Select Appearance from the menu in the left column. 
   
4. On the Appearance page, scroll down to the Fonts section.
5. Select the drop-down menu for Font size and choose a new setting.
   
6. If you’d like to make further font size adjustments, select Customise fonts.
   
7. On the Customise fonts page you can change:
   • Font size – this is the base size used by websites that specify font sizes as percentages.
   • Minimum font size – make all text appear at least this size.
     

Note: If this does not work it could be because someone else manages your computer settings (an IT department or administrator). If this is the case, you will need to contact them to access these settings or for further help.
